The Interstate Commerce Bill.
OPINIONS OF PROMINENT PEOPLE GEN
ERALLY UNAVOIDABLE TO THE
MEASURE.

New York, March o. In regard to
the interstate commerce bill, the )Ielald
this morning says the main questions
are:
Will the operation of the bill affect
business? Will the products of any sec
tions Of the country be barred out of any
other sections? Will the bill result in
great railroad consultations?
Several interviews on these queries
! follow:
"What will the interstate commerce
bill do?" said Railway Commissioner
Fink. Among other things, it will
ruin great many railways, many
branches OF industry and many manu-
facturers who have thrlved on competing
rates"
'sThe bill is not beneficial then?"
! ut would he if properly constructed.
Some sections are admirable, but the
greater portion of the bills such as you
might expect from men ignorant of
What they are doing. They are mprac-
ticabe. Impossible. deplolahle sections. y
"What do you think OF the claim made
that the uili was originated and engln-
eered by the railroads, which gayeit just
enough opposition TO prevent it's de-
feat?'
.I;ailway men wanted such bill hut
not in its present form"
"What is your opinion of it's effect ON
business?;'
THAT it will drive the producers of
the far west to the wall or to the slow
export via the lakes. l think through
lines will thrive on it as they can make
rates to the detriment of their local traf-
fic without material injury to themselves
if not to the ruination of shorter COM
petitors.''
"will it benefit the express compan-
ies!'
Certainly, it is true they are not at
fected by it,
The opinion on the start is that several
great systems of railroads will consolid'
ate and make such tariffs as will crush
all lesser lines. 1t is said that the Penn
sylvania and st. Paul systems practically
, i'm alliance now, will consolidate, and
these will consolidate with the Northern
Pacific. giving them continental line.
1t is rnmored that the Vanderbilt system
will also be PIT under one management.
1t is now known that the Baltimore <
Ohio deal is the first outcome of the in
terstate bill, and that the near future
will see vast systems consolidated,

The men did not appear to notice it,
and when the carpenter sung out the
order, all hands went to work briskly.
But willingly as they worked. even
these preliminary measures ran into a
great deal of time: and before they had
done. light breeze had come down on
the ship, and taken her aback.
The carpenter, seeing this. clapped
some hands on to the fore and mizzen
braces, and filled the fore and after
sails. The ship was therefore hove
with her head at west.
This done, he went TO the wheel. put
the helm amidship and made it fast;

Suddenly there seemed to be an earth
quake. They dropped the hose, and the
white stream Kissed upon the rails like a
great snake. They ran back to the engine
and stood waiting. The land.slip was
moving. Weakened and melting, it lost
its hold on the road and began to slide.
Slowly at first. and then with smothered
rumbling, faster and faster, the vast mass
swept into the ravine, tearing down the
forest as the wind bends the grass in sum
